A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

with her skis. how far does she travel on this patch before stopping?

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, \mu m g. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
ma=-\mu m g
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2
where v_f=0 is the final speed of the skier and v_i=4.75 m/s is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point
seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}

R = 0.54 m

so the coordinates of the center will be

(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))

(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)
